Washington, Juno. 8. Tho gcuernT deficiency appropriation bill reached tho president Sal .-day morning and soon after noon ho sent to tho house of representatives tho following message, accompanying a veto of tho bill: TO THE HOUSE Ol' HKPItKSKNTATIVE?: J hereby return without my approval house bill No. 8,293, entitled "An act malting appropria tions to supply deficiencies in tho appropria tions for tho fiscal year ending Juno 3), Ib'Jd, nnd for prior years and for other purposes," I rogrot that I am constrained to disapprove nn Important appropriation bill so near tho close of tho sosslon of congress. I have, how ever, by hnmcdlato action after the receipt of tho bill, endeavored to dolay as little as possl bio a reconstruction of this proposed legisla tion, though I am thus obliged U content my self with a lusa complete explanation of my objections than would otherwise be submit ted This bill Is In many of Its features far re moved from a legitimate dcllclcncy bill and it contains a number of approprlatloas which seem to bo exceedingly questionable With out noticing In detail many of those items, 1 shall refor to tho two of them which. In my Judgment, justify my action la tho premises. Tho blll'approprlatcs $I,027,3U.IA) fora partial payment upon claims which originated in tho dcprodatioUM upon our commerce by Fiencli cruisers and vessels during tho closing years of tho last century. They havu been qulto familiar to those hav ing congressional experience, as they have been pressed for recognition and payment with occasional Intervals of roposo for nearly 100 years. Those claims uro based upon tho allegations that France, being nt war with England, seized and condemned many American vessels and cargoos in viola tions of the rules of international law and treaty provisions and contrary to tho duty sho owed to our country as a neutral power and to our citizens. Hy reason of theso acts claims nriso in favor of our citizens as wero damnillcd ngalnst tho French nation, which claims our government attempted o enforco but. when concluding a treaty with France in tho year 187i), theso claims wcto'abandoucd or relinquished in consideration of certain claims which Franco charged against us. I do not understand It to bo as set tied that there oxlsts any legal liability against tho gov ernment'jon account of Its rtflatiou to these claims. At tho term of.tho supremo court just llnlshcd tho chief justice in unopitnonconccrn ing them and tho action of congress In appro priating for their payment, said: "We think that tho payments thus pre scribed to bo mndo woro purposely brought within tho category of payments by way of gratuity paymont of grace and not of right. From tho time tho plan wns conceived to chnrgo the government with tho payment of these clnlms they havo abided in tho atmos phnro of controversy every proroiTtlon pre sented in thoir support has been stoutly dis puted and every inference suggested In their fuvor has promptly bcon challenged. Inasmuch us it must be concoded If a stato of war existed between our country and Franco at the tlrao theso depredations woro committed, that it was Justlllcd In claiming indemnity for our oitizens, it Is assorted that wo woro at tho time cngiigcd in war with tho French nation. This proposition seems to bo sustained by tho attorney-general of the United States written in 170S and by a number of decisions of the su preme oourt deltvorcd at that 'time. We havo certainly abrogated treaties with Francoaud our cruisers and armed ships were roam ing tho seas capturing her vessels nnd property. So, also, when it Is asserted, that tho validity of those claims was acknowledged by treaty negotiations by the representatives of Franco their decla rations to tho contrary purport aro exhibited, und when It Is alleged that tho abandonment of theso claims against Franco wns In consid eration of great bonollts to tho government, confidentially alleged that they were, In point of fact, abandoned boc.iuse tho conference was hopeless, nnd even if uny bcncllt really ac crued to this government by insistence upon their settlement in tho course of diplomatio negotiations, such result gavo no pretext for taxing tho government with liability to tho claimants." Without noticing tho other considerations nnd contentions arising from tho alleged origin of theso claims, n brief rofcrenco to tho past and development of ihclr present action may bo useful and pertinent. It Is, I believe, some what tho fashion in Interested quarters to speak of tho failure of tho government to pay theso claims as such neglect as umounts to repudia tion nnd a denial of justlco to citizens ho have suffered. Of cour-o the original claimants have for years been beyond tho reach of re lief: but as thoir descendants In each gener ation becomo more numerous, tho 'volume of advocacy. Importunity and nccusatlon corre spondingly Increases, I llnd justice has been dono In those claims. It began early la tho present contury nnd mny bo charged ngalnst men then in public life, moro con versant than it can bo with tho facts involved und whoso honesty and sense of righteousness to bo secure from suspicion. As early as I80i a committco of tho houso of rep resentatives reported the facts In these claims, but apparently without recommondatlon. No nctlon was taken on tho roport. In 180.1 a reso lution declailng that indemnity ought to bo paid was negatived bv a oto in tho same body. A favorable committco report was mado in 1S-07, but It seems that no legislative ac tion resulted. In 1618 an adverse report wns mado to tho sonato, followed by tho pas sago of a resolution declaring that the relief asked by tho moralists- and petltlonfsts ought to bo granted. In IH.M and again in 18,M, ad verse committco rerorts on tho subject wero mado to tho houso, concluding with similar resolutions. Until ISIt) theso claims wcio from tlmo to time pressed upon tho attontlon of concrcss vlthurvlng fortunes, but never with favor nblo nctlon. In that year, however, a bill was passed for their ascertainment and satisfaction nnd $5,u)O,0OJ woro appropriated for their pay ment. This bill wns vetoed by President 1'olk, who declared that ho could -p'rcolvo no legal or equltablo ground upon which this appro priation can rest." This veto wns sustained by tho houso of reproontatlvcs. Nino years afterwards, in l8i. t.nothcr bill was pished similar to tho ono last mentioned, and appro priating for tho settlement of theso clalmn. This was also vetoed by Pioslileut Fierce. This veto was sustained by tho houso of repre sentatives. Tho president then concludes: In tho light of all tho facts and circum stances surrounding theso spoliation claims, ns they ar-) claimed, nono of them in my opinion, should bo paid by tho government. The president then states his objec tion to tho appropriation in favor of Charles P. Chouteau, survivor, etc., and thinks it is not justified on any ground. I'm ii I1 1 u'a htutiMi Unveiled.
